PORTLAND Preliminary figures from Portland Fire & Rescue in Oregon show blazes caused by fireworks fell by almost 80 percent this year, likely because of a ban on fireworks over the Fourth of July holiday.
Fire officials said Tuesday that nine fires were caused by fireworks in Portland during this year’s fireworks season, compared with 44 last year, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
The fireworks season runs from June 23 to July 6. Portland Fire & Rescue called the ban “extremely effective” in a statement.
